The town of Fort Morgan, Colorado, was founded in 1884, close to an old military fort that had been established 20 years earlier, and it takes its name from one of the soldiers who was stationed there. Today, it's a calm residential town that mostly receives short-term visitors leaving or going to the state capital, Denver. There are plenty of Fort Morgan motels for road-trippers to stay in, but the town has some scenic and exciting cultural attractions for the longer-term visitor too.
